Enjoyable Round

With a 1:39 tee time, I was expecting a slooow round. Pleasantly surprised to get around in just over 4 hours. Pace of play was steady. A couple of par 3 s had 2 groups but all in a it was nice.

Fairways are really looking good. Greens are good. Rough is rough as expected for this time of the year. To top it off I managed to get a hot deal so the price on this round was great.

Okay course

Pace of play was four hours, with no feel of being pushed or us waiting.

Fun with Decent Challenges

This was a fun course with a friendly staff and for this time of year, decently priced (only because rates almost triple until the snowbirds go home).

Pace of play for the weekend was above average. People kept up and helped keep your rhythm in your swing. Greens were a bit slow but it looked like they were sanded within the past couple of weeks, but that’s just upkeep. What made it fun was the layout. Dog legs, blind shots, narrow fairways on a few but open on others… just really fun with variation.

Take in a round and enjoy yourself!

Welcoming Manatee Golf Course

The pro shop staff were really friendly, the "ambassador" who provided you with your cart not so much as he seemed a bit stressed. The course was in really nice condition, especially for a public course. Tee boxes, fairways, greens all were in great shape - nice and green. The rough around the fairways is "rough" (seems burnt out and not aesthetically pleasing). All-in-all, I will definitely return and play here as its a fairly good value.

Liked it a lot. It was cart path only but still super playable. The starter was in charge, love that.
